26/02/2008 Weigh In - Week 8 How in the world can someone weigh less at night than they do in the morning?! That's what I want to know. I weighed last night - don't ask me why - if you're a chronic weigher, you understand. Anyway, last night I was .6 less than I was this morning... go figure! My husband on the other hand was like 3 lbs lighter this morning. I'm not going to complain though. I'm happy enough with this week's weight loss. Although - I wouldn't mind a steady 5 lb a week loss. :) Tim on the other hand isn't too happy with his, but it is a loss and he realizes that's a good thing. He went camping with the Cub Scouts this weekend and ate pretty good all things considered. He was there 2 nights, I was only there for 1 night. But we did get some walking in - about a 3 mile hike according to my pedometer. So, here are this week's results: Tim - Lost 1.0 Robbin - Lost 2.4 I am however a 100 calorie popcorn addict now and find myself having 2-3 bags a day. The calories are worth it to me and having something to snack on is good. But I'm not forming a good habit by still relying on my carbs. I just traded high calorie carbs for lower calorie carbs. Tim has an addiction he hasn't told you about too. He's addicted to Sugar Free popsicles and has them every night without fail. Of course, they are like 15 calories a piece so they don't really count. I hope everyone is doing well. We definitely need to step up and exercise. Once a week is not good enough and we both know we'd do better if we did. Until next time - Remember... One choice, one day, one pound at a time! ~ Robbin 25/02/2008 Tim just checking in...Hello
again everyone, just wanted to report in again. Robbin and I are both doing
pretty well, and keeping each other on our toes. She’s much more dedicated to
logging her foods in mydailyplate.com then I am. By that I mean she gets down
to the specific brands and everything. I’m more of a if I have last weeks brand
of wheat bread in my list, rather than go search for the new brand of bread I
just use it. I don’t really concern myself that there might be a 1 calorie
difference in brands. This weekend wasn’t a really good weekend for food, we
went camping with the cub scouts, I’m not one of those that stress out about
looking over the menu being served and saying can’t have that or that or that
and end up with nothing you can eat. As the cub master/kitchen coordinator I
try to plan decent meals, but we also indulge in the rice krispy cakes for
lunches, and smores, hot chocolate and stuff like that. On the plus side,
exercise for a cub scouting weekend is always up, so maybe my extra calories
will off set. Tomorrow is the official weigh in for us, so tomorrow will tell
the tale. I’m hopeful that it won’t be a gain. Check tomorrow to see if we’ve
lost or not. Until next time keep on keeping on. Tim 19/02/2008 Weigh In - Week 7 Okay, so I haven't done so well blogging and keeping our blog updated. Bad me! It's not because we're not doing well, it's just because I've been lazy I guess. So, anyway, let's see where we are. The last time I actually recorded a loss was 4 weeks ago. Dang - it has been a long time! So, let's see.... in the last 4 weeks here is what we have lost: Tim - Lost 10.4 Robbin - Lost 5.6 That's a total of 16 lbs for both of us together since the last time I recorded our weight in here. That's 39.2 lbs total since we started on Jan 2, 2008... Tim - Total lost = 21.6 Robbin - Total lost = 17.6 I am very proud of Tim, he's doing great! I am also proud of me, not because I've had a huge weight loss, but because I AM staying on plan, I AM making great choices and I AM doing well. Most importantly, we are encouraging each other and holding each other accountable. We started logging everything we eat every day at http://mydailyplate.com. This is the first time I have EVER logged my food honestly. It's actually been very enlightening for me and has really helped me see exactly what I'm eating. I have set my daily calorie intake to be between 1200 - 1400 and haven't been having any trouble staying within the range I've set for myself. This online diary also allows Tim and me to keep up with each other. Plus a couple of my friends are now using it and it helps us hold each other accountable. Our pages are at http://www.thedailyplate.com/diary/who/rtungett and http://www.thedailyplate.com/diary/who/ttungett. If you have an account there and want to hook up with us, just let us know and we'll give you the access key to see our stuff. We are in this for the long haul and are both doing well. The one thing we really need to do is exercise. That's the one place I am really not very disciplined in. I wish Jillian or Bob were here to kick my butt in gear... although they'd probably make me cry! I hope we can both stay motivated and on track. I wish the same thing for you! Thanks for stopping by and checking in on us! Leave me a note so I'll know you were here and I'll come visit you too! Blessings, ~ Robbin \o/ 14/02/2008 Super Bowl & Valentines Day... Hey again everyone, we'll made it through super bowl with out too much problem. Though I have to admit I really wanted to pig out with hot dogs, pizza, chips, and all the other yummy super bowl goodies. But I did have a bad day this week, and paid the price for that one. Tuesday was report card day and our son JT brought home very good grades (No really surprise to us, he's a very bright boy), and for reward after karate I allowed him to choose whatever he wanted for dinner (Fully expecting McDonalds, 99.9% of the time thats where he chooses and I at least know how to be pretty good there). To my surprise he wanted to go home and order Pizza Hut meat lovers pizza and bread sticks. Pizza is my Achilles heel, it's like the potato chip commercial a few years back "Bet you can't eat just one!" Well for me it might work for one pie, but certainly not one slice. Stupid thing is I have really bad reflux (I literally take a whole drugstore to keep it under control) and pizza is one of those foods that sets it off really bad, and even knowing this and knowing I'll be up the whole night I still eat it to excess go figure. Since then I've been eating pretty decently and staying on my calorie count. Well we're on to Valentines, can you say chocolate. We had a chocolate fondue fountain at work today, I dipped two cookies but should still be within my calorie limit for today by not having an evening snack tonight and no afternoon snack. Being the nice guy I am I didn't even get Robbin any candy or take her out to a nice dinner for valentines, didn't want to tempt her. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Keep on keeping on... Tim P.S. (From Robbin) Tim failed to tell you what a wonderful basket I gave him for Valentines Day. It had an apple, a pear, a nectarine, 2 packs of 100 calorie popcorn, 4 packs of instant oatmeal, some Extra sugar free gum, Altoids and a cute stuffed dog with a heart in his mouth. Oh yeah, he did buy me a box of granola bars. :) What a change for both of us and what we would normally do on Valentines Day! |
